After Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao Si took the unconscious Old Lady Ye away, Ye Ersao hurried over to comfort the frightened children.

She took out a small string of copper coins and handed it to Ye Changrui, saying, "Are you all scared? Don't be afraid, grandma will be fine.

"Changrui, take your brothers to buy some candy."

After hearing what Ye Ersao said, the children's expressions eased a little.

Ye Changrui took the money and went out with his four younger brothers.

Just as Mrs. Ye was about to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, she heard Guo suddenly screaming in the house.

"Fourth son's wife, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ersao asked through the window.

"Sister-in-law, I suddenly have a stomachache. What should I do? Ouch, it hurts so badly, it's a twisting pain...

"Ouch...you, please go get a doctor to help me..."

"Why do I have a stomachache for no reason?" Mrs. Ye Er was completely panicked. Old Mrs. Ye and the fourth son's wife were feeling unwell one after another. Could there be something wrong with what they ate in the morning?

That doesn’t make sense. I eat the same thing as them, but why am I fine?

"I, I might have eaten too much..." Guo groaned, "This morning, my third sister-in-law brought breakfast to me and the fourth son, but we were arguing at the time, so he just drank a bowl of porridge and didn't touch anything else.

"I, I ate them all out of anger..."

Ye Ersao was speechless when she heard this.

Looking at the dishes that had just been brought out of their room, they had indeed been eaten up.

But what Mrs. Ye sent in was the portion for two people, and now it was all eaten by Guo alone.

An ordinary person would feel uncomfortable eating so much, let alone she is pregnant.

In addition, Guo had previously experienced feeling uncomfortable after eating too many persimmons, so Ye Ersao did not suspect anything.

Mrs. Ye couldn't help but say, "Look at you. You had this incident before and you didn't learn your lesson. I was too embarrassed to even tell you to go see a doctor!"

Having said that, Mrs. Ye Er immediately closed the gate and went to ask for Doctor Gu.

When Mrs. Guo heard that Mrs. Ye had left, she immediately whistled a few times out the back window.

Someone was already waiting outside and quickly climbed over the wall and came in.

The other party smashed open the back window of Ye Laosi's room with an axe in two strokes.

The window opened, and the person outside was none other than Wang Fugui, the owner of the grocery store.

"I've been locked up for so many days, and you still remember to come!"

Wang Fugui glanced at Guo and said, "You haven't lost weight after being locked up for so many days. Instead, you've gained a little weight."

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Guo's waist.

Guo was pregnant after all, so she was quite wary of such actions. She twisted her body to avoid him and said, "Get me out of here quickly. Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave until my second sister-in-law and the children come back."

A hint of disgust flashed across Wang Fugui's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He helped Guo out of the house, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned around and went into other rooms to search.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Guo asked in a low voice.

"Since we're all leaving, we should at least prepare some money for the journey, right?"

"Indeed!" Guo didn't think it was wrong at all. Instead, she actively divided the work with Wang Fugui, saying, "I'll go to the main room. I know where the old lady's money box is. You go search the other rooms."

Wang Fugui was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You are quite bold. You really don't care about our old friendship at all?"

"I've already decided to go with you. I'm yours from now on. What old feelings do I have to cherish? Do I have to cherish the fact that they locked me in the house?"

After saying this, Guo went straight to Old Lady Ye's room and soon found the box where she usually kept her money in the kangqin.

The box was locked, and Guo didn't bother to open it. She just wrapped it with a piece of cloth and carried it out.

But Wang Fugui searched the other three rooms for a long time and found no silver or banknotes except a few strings of copper coins.

"Impossible!" Guo Shi didn't believe it, "There must be at least fifty taels of silver in my sister-in-law's room. I saw it with my own eyes.

"She must have made some money cooking in the city this time!"

"Then you go and look for it. I can't find it anyway!" Wang Fugui spread his hands. If Guo hadn't been holding a money box tightly in her arms and refusing to give it to him, he would have wanted to leave Guo and go away.

Boss Ye's room had been turned into a mess by Wang Fugui, and Guo went in and rummaged around again, but she really didn't find any banknotes.

Guo thought to herself, could it be that he was afraid that she would steal them, so he just carried them all with him?

That's not right. Even if the eldest and third sisters-in-law took the banknotes away, the second sister-in-law stays at home every day. She can't possibly carry the banknotes with her, right?

Guo wanted to go to Ye Laoer's room to look for it again.

But Wang Fugui had already discovered that Ye Ersao led Doctor Gu into the small path at the door.

"Let's go quickly, it's too late!" Wang Fugui carried a bundle in one hand and grabbed Guo's arm with the other hand, pulling her to the backyard and crawling out from the place he had prepared long ago.

"What are you carrying?" Guo couldn't help asking when she saw that he had a bulging bag on his arm.

"I grabbed some fabric and will make you some new clothes after we get settled in."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guo smiled sweetly, patted the money box in her arms and said, "Don't worry, Old Madam Ye has saved a lot of money!"

Wang Fugui's mule cart was parked not far behind the Ye family. He stuffed Guo into the cart, jumped on, cracked the whip, and the mule cart sped straight to the village entrance.

On their way out, they met several children from the Ye family who had just returned from the grocery store.
